MELBOURNE, Australia, November 23, 2011

An Australian mother expecting twin boys was told by doctors one of the babies had a serious congenital heart defect and she decided to have him aborted. She had already named her two boys; however surgeons on Tuesday tragically killed the healthy twin by a lethal injection into the heart. The mother then had an emergency caesarean section and the sick child was terminated in a three-hour operation.

The Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne would not confirm details, but said in a statement: "The Royal Women's Hospital can confirm a distressing clinical accident occurred on Tuesday.This is a terrible tragedy and the hospital is deeply sorry for the loss suffered by the patient and her family. We are conducting a full investigation and continue to offer the family and affected staff every support."

Hospital sources said the ultrasound clinician performed the procedure because "she looks at ultrasounds all day". Nevertheless, she made a mistake which had fatal consequences for two baby boys and left a family heartbroken.

The Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne apologized by claiming that “the ultrasound clinician checked three times before the “termination” because she didn't want to make a mistake. But if the hospital said it had followed correct procedure, then how on earth could this happen? Was the mother pressured into aborting the sick child rather than letting nature take its course?

This horrific accident once again underscores the fact that there is no such thing as a “safe abortion” which is really nothing but a thinly veiled euphemism for the murder of an innocent child.

The Herald Sun now believes the family is considering legal action against the Hospital.
